Sevilla and Betis face transfer hurdles as they chase new signings

Sevilla FC is intensifying its pursuit of Dutch striker Thijs Dallinga, 26, currently owned by Bologna FC. The Italian club, which originally planned a direct sale, has now opened the possibility of a loan with an option to buy, aligning with Sevilla’s desire for a physical centre‑forward. The Spanish side’s technical staff view Dallinga’s profile as a perfect fit for their tactical needs.

Meanwhile, Real Betis remains unable to complete the signing of midfielder Dani Ceballos. The club’s salary‑cap constraints mean a new contract can only be offered if other players depart, but key squad members such as Giovani Lo Celso and Nelson De Ossa have rejected any move. Consequently, Betis’ transfer plans for Ceballos are stalled pending viable exits.

Both clubs are navigating financial and roster challenges as they aim to strengthen their squads ahead of the upcoming season.
